Bernice: (Part 2) Just to add a shortcut......

1. Right-click on the icon you created and choose Properties > Shortcut
2. Click in the box that says Shortcut Key. The cursor will appear after the word None. Hold down the Key combination you want to use for the shortcut (e.g. CTRL - ALT - X). The shortcut will replace the word None
3. Click Apply and OK.

Windows will now shut instantly you use that key combination
